Being At A Historical Event.

[William51]

At the moment i am reading an interesting book about the battle of Trafalgar. It describes in detail how events were and how the battle unfolded. What event and why would you like to go back in time to witness ?.

On the occasion, after Jane Austen's death, when her sister Cassandra prepared to burn lots of Jane's letters - so I could stop her, or nick them beforehand.

I’d like to have been witness to the Khoisan (cave dwellers ) in Southern Africa in the years when they were depicting scenes on the cave walls and taking natural hallucinogenic “magic” potions. Fascinating
